I'll have a look and see whether I can spot a specific article but UHM usually has some relevant information. http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/plumbing_centre.htm

Can't see a mixer shower one. I'll tell him to write one when I catch up with him.

Cheers - looks like a really useful site.

A British plumber is unlikely to be able to install it for you, unless he is Part P registered as this is a requirement for work in a bathroom.

Do they need to issue a cert/confirmation for this type of job???

Good evening: Many plumbers/heating engineers can self-certify electrical work (e.g. my OH, Corgi Guy)...comes in very handy when you are installing new bathrooms and central heating....visit https://www.trustcorgi.com to find someone who can!

Well personally I don't know how many plumbers can Part P certify, which is why I said "unless he is Part P registered". Just pointing out something that the poster needs to be aware of.

Good evening: As I said in my previous post, a quick visit to www.trustcorgi.com (specifically the 'Find and Installer' facility) can easily identify which companies/sole traders can self certify electrics...also each CORGI's identification card will indicate on the front side, upper right whether the CORGI can self-certify (red emblem with CORGI Electrical).

Consumers should always request and expect to see proof of ID/registration, as a matter of course, before letitng a gas engineer or electrician into the property. If the tradesperson makes an excuse, don't fall for it.
If you are unsure how building regulations or planning relates to work in your home the Planning Portal website is an excellent source of information for consumers, the trades. and other building industry professionals
